The Alphas

[Left he/him]

So I started watching The Alphas yesterday, and it is a fantastic. It's kind of a mashup of a superhero and cop show. Think Legion, but with a team of people who have powers instead of just Leeds.

It's balancing episodic vs seasonal plot really well so far, which I love.

Any other fans? I'm only about half way through the first season, but I'm binging it bad.

Sounds fun. How is it, content wise?

There's been one night over that was easy to skip, language is actually really pretty mild, and violence isn't too bad. The worst violence I can think of is one episode where the villain can cause violent mobs but the camera mostly just shows people swinging their arms around.

Yea. It shares a universe with Eureka and Warehouse 13. But they don't really do anything with that. I think the most they do is the occasional side-character cross over.

 

I may have to go and try to watch it again. I tried last year and it wasn't really my thing.

Oh, Alphas! I wasn't sure, with the definite article in front. I thought it was pretty cool, though having watched things like Fringe and 4400 before hand, it felt quite samey. But I enjoyed it, never the less.

I loved that show. But I was pretty angry when it got canceled after the second season, right when things were getting really interesting. Oh, and the season ends on a cliffhanger. Of course.

The content level has hopped up a bit, for any curious. I'm only a few episodes into the second season, I've been busy this week and had other entertainment that I wanted to get to first. It's still not too bad, on par with Leverage and Sherlock maybe.

So far I'm not liking the second season as much just because everyone is so angry, but they Should be really and it could totally change.
